re: Anybody here still think O was a bad hire?

Yeah, hadn't done so for 5 years before Miles was canned.

2012 we absolutely were in the hunt. 2013 if the defense could stop anything. 2015 if we could have beaten Bama who knows.

But hey, you do you.

or with a defensive stop in the A&M game

OR we score more than 24 points or we just get 1 more first down in regulation.

Again the defense wasn't great, but the offense wasn't either in regulation.

Do you think a better offense would have lost that game.

All everone here wants to due is duck a super easy question:

Wouldn't a better OC have done better?

O got handed a shite sandwich and is now serving up seafood poboys.

You will be hard pressed to find struggling teams who change coaches who have much better two first seasons.

But keep clinging to Troy, you may be able to fall back on it if we somehow falter again.

Whats a struggling team?

We haven't had a losing season since 1999

We haven't had less than 8 wins since 1999

in 2015 we would have been a 10-3 team if we played a full schedule.

We weren't a rebuild

AND answer the real question

Wouldn't we have done better with a better offense?

No one is less surprised than me that you can't follow a sentence.

I’m still waiting for him to win a big game.

Being interim coach is very different than being permanent head coach. One is supposed to build and maintain the program and one is a bandaid just trying to slow down the bleeding.

Are you saying that his interim stints, including the one for the job he ultimately landed, should have had less bearing on the decision than when he was a FT HC?

I understand that running the program is a year round job, but it’s not like he wasn’t doing that during the season. I’m not saying it was more relevant experience than OM but it was certainly relevant. Wouldn’t an internship at a company you are interviewing with be just as relevant, if not more relevant than prior experience with a competitor?

Solo Cam during the O era:

quote:

Before he was hired I said I wouldn’t mind him Herman or Jimbo if O kept his promises. After the Canada experiment and Troy I was all the way out. Didn’t think they should have fired him but said if he regressed in year 2 then fire him. After Auburn last year I said he earned at least another year. After Georgia I said I was in. After the Bama game I said he needed to do something to modernize the offense. He’s done that.

---

Me during the O era: predicting everything that is happening now without wavering lol.

I will stick to what I said at the time . The hiring PROCESS was a clusterfrick. The actual hire of Coach Orgeron had a certain undeniable logic to it, given the circumstances. And as they say , All is well that ends well. In Orgeron we have a man who is ready for the challenge.
